A comprehensive quote, down to a sig, is the usual sign of lack of
comprehensive reading. Please keep using that style as long as you
remain clueless. Using XHTML in web authoring isn't a _sure_ sign of
cluelessness, you know, though often a useful hint.

Is that a serious question? It looks like one, but other symptoms
suggest the opposite,

Anyway, here are some crucial declarations from it:

<!ENTITY % block
"p | %heading; | div | %lists; | %blocktext; | fieldset | table">

<!ENTITY % Block "(%block; | form | %misc;)*">

<!ELEMENT body %Block;>

Now, how can you have an <input> element inside the body? Hint: check
the definition of %misc to see that there's nothing there that allows
<input>. Then work out the declarations for the block-level elements
like <p> and <div> to see that <input> is allowed there
